Crystal structure of bis­[2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl-κN (3))aniline-κN]bis­(nitrato-κO)cadmium(II)

In the title compound, [Cd(NO(3))(2)(C(13)H(11)N(3))(2)], the Cd(II) atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms, provided by two bidentate 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)aniline ligands, and two nitrato O atoms, forming a distorted octa­hedral geometry [range of bond angles around the Cd atom = 73.82 (2)–106.95 (8)°]. In the ligand, the dihedral angle between the aniline ring and the benzimidazole ring system is 30.43 (7)°. The discrete complex mol­ecule is stabilized by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
